Process Used

This lesson is being developed using a slimmed-down variant of the "Understanding by Design" process. The main sections are:

  1. Assumptions about audience, time, etc. (The current draft also includes some conclusions and decisions in this section - that should be refactored.)

  2. Desired results: overall goals, summative assessments at half-day granularity, what learners will be able to do, what learners will know.

  3. Learning plan: each episode has a heading that summarizes what will be covered, then estimates time that will be spent on teaching and on exercises, while the exercises are given as bullet points.

Stage 1: Assumptions

  • Audience
    • Graduate students in neuroscience.
    • FIXME: more about their background and prior knowledge.
  • Constraints
    • FIXME: three full days.
      • Full course is ten half days.
      • First four half days are a standard Software Carpentry workshop.
    • Learners use native installs on their own machines
      • May use VMs or cloud resources at instructor's discretion
      • But must keep native local install as an option
    • Use the Jupyter Notebook for Python.
      • Authentic tool used by many instructors.
      • There isn't really an alternative...
  • Motivating Examples
    • FIXME: brief summary of what learners will learn how to do.
  • Data
    • FIXME: describe data sets
  • Challenges will mostly not be "write this code from scratch"
    • Want lots of short exercises that can reliably be finished in allotted time
    • So use "fix this pipeline", "fill in the blanks", Parsons Problems, etc.

Stage 2: Desired Results

Questions

How do I...

  • ...FIXME: questions that learners have before they meet us.

Skills

I can...

  • ...FIXME: what can they do after the class?

Concepts

I know...

  • ...FIXME: major landmarks in their mental model.
